Movies directed by women earned a larger turn-over than those directed by men due realistic portrayals. Women in a woman-directed movie depict characters that serve as role models to the audience. Women belonging to the Asia-Pacific regions have been a source of fascination, contempt and fear to many Hollywood directors, leading to the enhancement of their images and exploitation.

Bad Girl

Women filmmakes are directing and producing hard-core videos to the female consumer. These women claim the right to pornography made by women for women and reject the censorship called for by feminists. Are they simply business-women out for their share of one of the most lucritive film markets, or avant-garde feminists and advocates of new sexual relationships? This documentary features selected film clips and interviews with feminist authors, filmmakers, anthropologists, sexologists and porn producers,directors and activists. 2001. 58 min. Video/C 8928

"Despite Oscar's '93 salute to women, actresses face the same old obstacles." (Eye on the Oscars: Actors)Variety v361, n8 (Jan 1, 1996):53 (2 pages).

Despite progress in hiring of women directors, and the growing list of female studio executives, film actresses still do not 'carry' or headline, major films. Early in their careers they observe that appearance, not talent, is the way to employment, usually in stereotypical roles.

"In the shadow of race: forging images of women in Bolivian film and video."Frontiers v15, n1 (Winter, 1994):123 (18 pages).

Bolivian women filmmakers are using motion pictures and videos to discuss the issues of national identity, ethnic culture, race and gender. The films aim to increase the awareness of Bolivian women on critical social issues such as women oppression, domestic violence and sexual harassment. They encourage women to attain control of their bodies and lives and to break from their traditional roles as powerless, voiceless and defenseless members of the society.

"The role of women on screen and behind the scenes in the television and film industries: review of a program of research." Journal of Communication Inquiry v23, n4 (Oct, 1999):355 (1 pages).

A study has been carried out of motion pictures released in 1997, 1992 and 1987, and of prime-time TV in 1997-1998 and 1995-1996. This study shows that women are Moffittrrepresented in the TV and motion picture industries, though there is a correlation between numbers of women employed behind the scenes and the extent to which women are shown in the screen. Female executive producers may hire more women writers who give stronger dialogue to women characters. There is a need for research on why women have been Moffittrrepresented in these industries.

"Pioneers." (early women film script writers) Films in Review v45, n11-2 (Nov-Dec, 1994):40 (14 pages).

Women script writers dominated the film scene in the early decades of the 20th century and writers such as June Mathis and Frances Marion were prominent figures of the industry. In the 1920s and 1930s, women participated a great deal in war and related situations which gave them confidence to enter into new fields such as films. Mathis started as a script-writer but later she became a production executive, the first person to hold such a position in the industry. Marion was also an important figure and she wrote scripts for nearly 130 films.

"Status of women weak on screen, behind scenes in the 1997-1998 prime time TV season." (study released by the Women in Film) Media Report to Women v27, n1 (Wntr, 1999):15 (2 pages).

The impact of women characters and women involved in the production of television programs during 1997-1998 was examined by the study conducted by San Diego State University professor Martha Lauzen from the grant provided by Women in Film. The study revealed that veteran women characters in programs such as 'Cybill' and 'Murphy Brown' were replaced by the younger generation in 'Ally McBeal' and 'Dharma and Greg.' Also, there was a decline in the number of women working in the prime time programs' production and direction.

" 'Thelma and Louise' is a successful commercial film which has generated a wide-ranging debate on the position of women in Hollywood action drama. The film has received a quick and exciting media response and is thought to be glorifying liberated females. The film manifests America's violent history with regard to the position of women. It also dwells on the myth of western expansion and material development. As shown, that myth can affect both sexes, and sexist exploitation may result." [Magazine Index]

"A combination of psychoanalytic theory & film criticism is applied to the film, Thelma and Louise (1991). In this model, social & economic oppression are seen as existing in the individual's psychological development. One's initial attachment to the female caregiver is of particular importance. It is argued that although the movie treads new ground for women, the narrative remains masculine. The camera's gaze is feminine, but the identification with aggression & dominance are patriarchal. Just as the individual adolescent lays the groundwork for his or her future autonomy through reactionary counteridentification, it is possible that Thelma and Louise has provided a base for future developments in feminism, though it fails as feminist cinema itself."

"The relevance and gender identity in spectator's interpretations of 'Thelma & Louise'." Critical Studies in Mass Communication v16, n1 (March, 1999):20 (2 pages).

Author Abstract: "Using relevancy as a conceptual framework, this study investigates women and men spectators' experiences with the 1991 film, Thelma & Louise. An analysis of the spectators' self-report essays explicates contradictory cultural subjectivities and subsequent interpretations of the film between the spectators: most women liked the film - most men hated it. While issues of sexism and women's marginalization appear irrelevant to the cultural subjectivities of the men, sexism and its consequences are the major relevant issues in the viewing experiences of the women. Women spectators overwhelmingly interpreted the events in the film as evidence of women's marginalized status in a patriarchal society, an interpretation that resulted in their overall endorsement of and identification with the film's protagonists. Men generally failed to make this connection, resulting in their interpretations of the film primarily as an unfair exercise in male-bashing. Most women also identified strongly with Thelma and Louise's friendship, while the majority of men either ignored the relationship or interpreted it as based on the characters' shared negative attitudes toward men. Explanations for these differences are suggested by linking the relevancies explicated from the spectators' essays to their social discourses and cultural subjectivities, and to gender-based cultural myths and stereotypes."

The film 'Thelma and Louise' evoked many different responses from reviewers. Some reviews felt it was feminist, some felt it was anti-feminist. Several critics offer their views of the film.

Griffin, Cindy L.

"Teaching rhetorical criticism with 'Thelma and Louise.'" Communication Education v44, n2 (April, 1995):165 (12 pages).

"'Thelma and Louise' can be used to teach pentadic, feminist and ideological criticism. The different situations in the film can be analyzed so that the methods used to present the motives of the characters can be identified. The depiction of women and their experiences are also interesting topics of discussion when viewing 'Thelma and Louise.' Communication teachers can also help their students determine the political or ideological message that the movie tries to impart." [Magazine Index]

"A feminist/psychoanalytic reading of the film Thelma and Louise & its reception in the media. It is argued that, in the context of numerous other "killer women" films that have recently been produced in Hollywood, Thelma and Louise is distinct in its representation of two women wo "do it" together. The "negative" of the "lesbian" coupling that ghosts the entrance of violent women into representation is developed, & the film's absent spaces - TX & the Grand Caynon - are read as the traumatized aporia in a masculine imaginary that produces what it sets out to prohibit."

"The soundtrack of 'Thelma and Louise' contributes substantially to the success of the film. The 18 songs serve as commentary and background to the actions, putting them into perspective. They reflect the emotions of the actors and the environment in which the plot develops. 'Little Honey' describes a woman dominated by men. 'House of Hope' reflects both women's self-worth and fulfillment. The route they take as they travel is depicted in 'Badlands,' which is also a metaphor for their emotional state. The film shows that creating an effective soundtrack is an art." [Magazine Index]

The making of the film was not without many production problems of the screenplay. The film's storyline was modified to suit the screen narrative and remain within the Hays Code of movie censorship."

McHugh, K.

"Housekeeping in Hollywood: the case of Craig's wife." Screen (London, England) v. 35 (Summer 1994) p. 123-35

" Dorothy Arzner's film Craig's Wife is discussed as a source of information about women's changing domestic roles in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s. In the 1920s, there was a dramatic inflation of public interest in women's emotional role in the home at the same time that the importance ascribed to their actual labor waned. In cultural representations, the housewife's responsibilities changed from tangible domestic chores to intangible emotional tasks, represented in terms of her ability to love and nurture her husband and family. Craig's Wife skillfully uses the exemplary cleanliness of the female protagonist to indicate her sexual and emotional inadequacies as a wife, and to suggest that she is obsessed with her house. The film participates in the changing cultural discourse concerning marriage, sex, and romance by perpetuating an ethos wherein emotion, particularly for women, has assumed moral proportions, and romantic love has become the only honest incentive for marriage."

"The writer reconsiders the motion picture Coquette on the occasion of the newly restored videocassette release by the Library of Congress' Motion Picture Conservation Center. Coquette raised such issues as unwanted pregnancy and suicide, which placed it among "women's" plays that marked the maturation of the American theater after the turn of the century. Actress Mary Pickford won an Oscar for Best Actress in 1929 for her role in this motion picture, which she intended to be a more radical departure from her previous silent films. The movie, which offered a view of the burgeoning film industry and Pickford's changing career, grossed over $1.3 million domestically, establishing it as one of the actress's most successful motion pictures. The production design of Coquette is discussed, and a filmography of Mary Pickford's films is provided." [Art Index]

"During the years 1917-20 Mary Pickford achieved international celebrity, appearing as a child in screen adaptations of several classic children's novels and tales. These "growing-girl" films at once eclipsed the popularity of her previous films, the majority of which had featured her in adult roles. At the zenith of her career, Pickford's little-girl parts established her indisputably as the highest paid, most recognized, most idolized, and most powerful female in the entertainment business. The writer focuses on The Poor Little Rich Girl, the first and possibly the most significant of Pickford's "growing-girl" films." [Art Index]
